I came across a few webpages that mentioned size on these ... a good one is
Here.
Anyhow size on these ranges from 8" at full size to 48" full size. A 48" would require at least a 6'wX6'DX12'L (a 3200 gallon) tank. If only 8 inches across it qould require at minimum a 2'wX2'dX4'l (90 gal) tank). In any situation a 55gal isnt going to cut it. Theres not alot of point in buying a tank that you are going to have to move the fish from, especially with it being quite sensitive. My 90's with stand and full of water, gravel,and decorations weigh about 1500 lbs.
